Probiotics and Antibiotics

Antibiotics don’t discriminate between good and bad bacteria. They kill both and disrupt the body's natural microbial balance. Florajen Probiotics help restore the good flora and maintain the natural microbial balance the body needs to stay healthy.*

Probiotic FAQs

  • Probiotics are live, “good” bacteria that help keep your body healthy. Our body has a balance of “good” and “bad” bacteria. When “bad” bacteria outweigh the “good”, we can feel unwell. In order to restore balance, supplemental “good” bacteria can help. Probiotics help renew the normal friendly bacteria that has been lost – allowing you to feel better while you’re getting better.

  • An effective probiotic must have the right strains at the right cell count. The human body contains trillions of microorganisms and in order to help maintain natural “good” bacteria, a probiotic with billions of cells is needed. Not only does the cell count matter, but each “good” bacteria strain has an important purpose:

    • Lactobacillus is active in the digestive, vaginal and urinary tracts and helps to maintain and regulate a healthy state.
    • Bifidobacterium is active in the small intestine and helps to protect the lining of the gut.

  • Many people take Florajen every day, while others take Florajen whenever they feel their digestive system needs a boost. Two main reasons to consider taking Florajen Probiotics are for helping to avoid antibiotic side effects and maintaining everyday health.

    Antibiotics don’t discriminate between good and bad bacteria, they kill both, and disrupt the natural intestinal and vaginal microbial balance. Florajen Probiotics help restore the good flora and maintain the natural microbial balance the body needs to stay healthy.

    Florajen Probiotics are also helpful for maintaining everyday health. Your body needs to be continually balanced and nurtured, and Florajen helps your body maintain an internal microbial balance, particularly in your digestive and vaginal tracts.

  • Probiotics are live bacteria, and when left unrefrigerated the cells naturally die off at a faster rate. Refrigerated Florajen probiotics maintain a Cold Chain Commitment™ meaning that from the time our probiotics are manufactured, delivered to the pharmacy, and placed in your hands, Florajen is kept cold. This ensures product potency and allows the cell counts within Refrigerated Florajen Probiotics to remain as consistent as possible through the expiration date.

    Refrigerated Florajen probiotics should be refrigerated for maximum freshness and potency. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks and still maintain effectiveness.

  • Prebiotics push out the bad bacteria to create a friendlier environment for the good. Probiotics are the good bacteria strains that live inside us. Postbiotics are nutrients shown to feed and supercharge probiotic benefits.
